Strokers and masturbation sleeves: a guide (and Fleshlight alternatives)
A stroker (also called a masturbation sleeve or masturbator) is a soft, textured sleeve you use with lube. They range from single-use cups to reusable sleeves to app-connected devices. Here's how to choose.

Our top 3 picks
-
Best for most peopleTenga Original Vacuum Cup Gentle ($31.99)Single-use cup, pre-lubricated with water-based gel. An air hole controls the suction.
-
Best upgradeKiiroo Keon & Feel Stroker Pale Masturbator Combo ($372.99)Hands-free automatic stroker: up to 230 strokes per minute, with a Bluetooth connection.
Shipping is $9.95, and free on orders from $75. A water-based lube such as JO H2O Classic 2oz ($19.99) or a toy cleaner such as Wicked Cleene 4oz ($18.99) helps you get there.
Looking for a Fleshlight?
We don't carry the Fleshlight brand. If you like the Fleshlight idea, a soft sleeve inside a hard case that you can rinse and reuse, these are the closest options we stock:
- Tenga 3D Masturbator Sleeve Spiral ($125.00) and Tenga 3D Masturbator Sleeve Zen ($125.00): Tenga's 3D sleeves. Soft, stretchy and reusable, with a sculpted inner texture.
- Tenga Flip Zero Black Masturbator ($217.99) and Tenga Flip Zero White Masturbator ($217.99): Tenga Flip Zero. A hard case that opens flat for cleaning, which is the biggest hassle with case-style strokers.
- Kiiroo Feel Stroker - Butt (mid brown) ($101.99) and Kiiroo Feel Stroker generic mouth ($101.99): Kiiroo Feel strokers. Case-style sleeves that also fit Kiiroo's Keon device if you upgrade later.
The five main types
How to choose
- First time? Start with a cup or an egg. They're inexpensive, and you'll learn which texture you like before spending more.
- Want something to keep? A reusable sleeve or a flip-open case. Flip-open designs are much easier to dry.
- Want hands-free or long distance? An automatic stroker, or one that connects to a partner's app such as Lovense Max 2 Bluetooth Male Masturbator ($217.99).
- Size: most sleeves stretch a lot. Open-ended sleeves fit the widest range of sizes and are the easiest to rinse.
Lube matters
Always use lube. Water-based lube is the safe choice for every sleeve material. Tenga makes lotion for its own strokers, Tenga Lotion Regular ($28.99) and Tenga Lotion Light ($30.99). Silicone lube can damage soft sleeve materials, so check the instructions first. More in our lube guide.
Cleaning and care
- Rinse with warm water after each use, then let the sleeve dry completely before storing. Damp sleeves are where problems start.
- Don't use soap on soft sleeves unless the maker says it's fine. It can leave residue.
- Store away from other toys and out of direct sunlight.
